Wave diffraction is caused by the bending of waves around obstacles or through openings in a barrier. When waves encounter an obstacle, they spread out and bend around it, creating a wave pattern with areas of constructive and destructive interference. This phenomenon is a result of the wave's ability to propagate in different directions as it encounters varying obstacles in its path.

What are 3 causes of a wave?
Three causes of a wave are wind blowing over the surface of water, earthquakes underwater, and gravitational pull from the moon and sun.
What is the relationship between the movement of the wave and the movement of the medium?
It depends on the type of wave. If it is a transverse wave, then the medium moves in one direction while the wave moves in a perpendicular direction. Flicking a rope up and down causes a transverse wave. Eletromagnetic waves (e.g. light and radio) are transvere. If it is a longitudinal wave then the wave moves in the same direction as the medium. Pushing a slinky causes a longitudinal wave. Sound waves are also longitudinal.
Is it true or false that a transverse wave causes its medium to move parallel to the direction the wave travels?
False. A transverse wave causes its medium to move perpendicular to the direction the wave travels. This means that the particles of the medium move up and down or side to side as the wave passes through.
What is the name of the wave of the rope in science?
The wave produced in a rope is called a transverse wave. This type of wave causes the particles in the rope to move perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation.
What causes the frequency of a wave to increase and how does it affect the wave's behavior?
The frequency of a wave increases when the number of wave cycles passing a fixed point in a given time period increases. This causes the wave to have a higher pitch or tone. A higher frequency wave also carries more energy and can travel faster, but it may have a shorter wavelength.
What is difraction?
when something looks bent when you put a straw in a cup of water and it looks bent that is difraction
What seismic wave causes the most damage?

Which wave causes the medium to vibrate only in a direction parallel to the wave's motion?
Longitudinal wave
Which seismic wave causes damage to da surface?
The surface wave.
What happens to coastlines over time?
Wave refraction causes deposition in the bays Wave refraction causes erosion of the headlands
What is a tidal wave caused by a earthquake?
This is known as a tsunami.
What is a seismic wave that causes particules of rock to vibrate in the same direction which the wave is moving?
That would be a P-wave or Primary wave which is a longitudinal seismic wave.
What is a gigantic wave that causes destruction called?
tsunami, tidal wave or a water surge.
